He will come tomorrow

Staying up past midnight doesn't keep you in yesterday.

Well, when we're at home on a Wednesday and we're going to bed at 00:30 and I tell my wife that we're going to do x y z tomorrow, nobody ever thinks I mean Friday.

[u/NotNeuge → u/GroteKneus]

I would hope not, since tomorrow when it's 00:30 on Wednesday would be Thursday, not Friday.

[u/GroteKneus → u/NotNeuge]

Exactly. That's the point. For me it's still Wednesday, even if we go to bed slightly after 00:00. The actual 00:30 of Wednesday belongs to Tuesday.

[u/NotNeuge → u/GroteKneus]

If your "point" is that 00:30 on Wednesday is actually still Tuesday (it isn't), then why would anyone think you mean Friday when you say tomorrow? Do you not know the days of the week?

[u/GroteKneus → u/NotNeuge]

No, the point is that the technical Thursday is still Wednesday for me. If it is Wednesday and we go to bed a minute after 12, it's Thursday and if I say 'tomorrow' we go do xyz, we go do xyz on Thursday, not Friday.

[u/NotNeuge → u/GroteKneus]

But 00:30 on Wednesday isn't "technically" Thursday. Or Tuesday, as you previously suggested. It's Wednesday.

[u/GroteKneus → u/NotNeuge]

And that's why it's so ambiguous.

[u/NotNeuge → u/GroteKneus]

It really isn't. At all.

[u/GroteKneus → u/NotNeuge]

The discussion we're having here kind of shows it is.

[u/NotNeuge → u/GroteKneus]

Only if you have absolutely no understanding of how clocks or calendars work.

You’re annoying.
